1842 .5 LIBERTY GOLD QUARTER EAGLE KEY DATE NGC VF35 — JUST 2,823 MINTED!!

Description

According to U.S. gold authority David Akers, “Between 1863 and 1915 this date was considered to be semi-unique (two known). It has several early auction records over 0 and the Taylor-swindle specimen brought 5 in 1908. Many more are now known than just the two original pieces, but the coin is still scarce in all grades. In grades above EF, however, it is extremely rare and, as is the case with many dates of this period, I have never seen a strictly mint state example, although there is one auction record for one.
This is a recent purchase at the ANA show at the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Shipped fully insured via ultra secure but somewhat slower USPS Registered Mail.
